Apple's iPad vs. Microsoft Courier

Today in class we have a "simulation of a debate" between the iPad and the Courier, and Fran Javier made this slideshow for the special occasion. This is the result:
Personally, I think both devices are good, but they are different, they are not designed with the same purpose. While iPad is more like a "PC for people who wouldn't have a real one", Courier (or whatever the name will be) is more like the natural evolution of actual PDAs. That's why you have to be pretty sure of what you want and then choose. Not just say 'Apple is for cool people' or 'Any Microsoft stuff sucks'... or any other cliché, this devices are something new in the market and we shouldn't rely on old preconceived ideas.
Anyway, the best thing is we are able to choose, and we have separate alternatives (not as much as I think it should), so everyone can get (or don't) what they want.

Hahaha, "simulation"...

I think the price of these devices are very expensive for our pockets, because the iPad cost 499$ the easier... and Courier has not prices!! That could be a handicap...

I don't think the debate reached the level of simulation. It was an exposition. A good one exposition. Well done Javi!!!

It was more like an abuse, but I didn't want to say that xD, it was 7 vs. 1, that is not fair anyway.
